Every Shirt LXXVI: Motorhead

shirt: Motorheadsize: XL (US)vintage: 2008provenance: band

I have this shirt because, essentially, the promoters who book Mohegan Sun are kind of stupid. Motorhead was out on the Masters of Metal tour with Testament, Priest, and Heaven & Hell (the last, of course, better known as "Dio Sabbath"), but apparently Mohegan Sun didn't want to pay any of the thrash bands, so Testament played the night before with local support, and then Motorhead came up to headline over a bunch of metalcore bands. Uncasville is too far to get to from the North Shore mid-week, but Worcester is just a-ok; I got back-to-back nights of killer sets, and the people who went to the casino date had fewer reasons to think about the stress of maybe having to stand up.
